“…Lack of awareness among patients and their relatives regarding acute MI and its management necessitated extensive discussions, often involving primary physicians or family members, leading to prolonged decision-making processes. This pattern can be seen in other studies done in India, where the lack of awareness of MI among patients and relatives was evident [11][12][13]. Additionally, financial considerations posed a barrier, particularly among patients without insurance coverage, further impeding the timely initiation of treatment.…”

There is an urgent need to develop a national program and allocation of resources to improve stroke care in India. Management of stroke requires a multidisciplinary approach and close collaboration not only among physicians from different specialties but also among paramedical personnel and patient transport services. Here we propose a healthcare model of providing acute stroke therapies to patients in central India to minimize the wide supply mismatch we face in providing adequate care to our patients. Observations and the proposed model presented below were based on personal experience and a review of the literature on stroke care available in central India.

“…Stroke care in India faces multiple challenges, including limited stroke education and awareness among the population, 13, 14 regional disparities and the rural-urban divide, 15, 16 a divide between public and private healthcare models, a shortage of healthcare professionals, obstacles at the patient level, transportation-related challenges and issues within hospitals such as the need for more specialised healthcare providers and dedicated SUs. 17 These challenges highlight the urgent need for comprehensive strategies to improve stroke care accessibility, awareness and infrastructure throughout the country.…”

The stroke burden in India is alarmingly high compared to Western industrialised countries, necessitating immediate action to develop stroke systems of care. Tailored stroke-prevention strategies, adequate resource allocation for stroke management and research, and increased awareness of specialised care in acute Stroke are critical. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need for improved healthcare delivery and infrastructure. To address the rising stroke burden in India, comprehensive strategies encompassing prevention, awareness, specialised care and governmental support are urgently required. While the concept of ‘stroke-ready centres’ has emerged, their limited availability hinders widespread benefits. This expert consensus examines the current state of stroke care in India, identifies challenges, and proposes strategies to enhance stroke care systems. It offers valuable insights into stroke management at different levels, empowering healthcare professionals and administrators to assess their existing systems and make necessary improvements. Special attention is given to the role of physicians, including the use of thrombolytic therapies like Tenecteplase, in reducing the stroke burden and improving outcomes across the country. Significant strides can be made in stroke management and care in India by addressing these critical areas.
